Great small campground. I think only 30+/- campsites, but very well maintained. The sites are a little close together and that's why a 9 instead of 10 rating. BUT, we had an very enjoyable visit. Beautiful sunset gathering area looking out over the Gulf. Dog walk area with lush green grass. We

Tips for other Campers:

U.S. 1 is a two-lane road with many interruptions, slow areas, and subject to closure due to break-downs and accidents. The campground is about 57 miles from Key West so be prepared for a 1 to 2 hour drive depending on traffic.

This is a beautiful, small and quiet RV park roughly at the mid-point of the Florida Keys. I ended up staying for 6 nights while exploring the area for the first time. Plusses for me were the impeccably kept grounds, boat dock/sitting area on the water and the helpful staff, who helped me get into my site and provided lots of good information about the area. Only negatives for me were the hedge near the road that hides the entrance/exit from the road (probably done to cut down on the highway noise) and the wi-fi performance, which was not that reliable. However, I would definitely return. We

Great camp site, everything was very clean. Fishing pier and area to swim where one could snorkle. Nice laundry room, but a little expensive, but consider you're in the Keys and everything is a little high price. Dolphin research center was a great place to visit. Would have liked to have been on the water front area campsites, but all were taken. We
camped at Grassy Key RV Park & Resort in a Motorhome.

Beautiful location, pool, clubhouse, laundry, office and sites are immaculate. Very well kept up. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Only slight negative was our site was not completely level, side to side. Would stay here again any time we can. We

Great location. Dolphin Research Center was a ball, and only an hour from Key West. Can't get any better than that.

Thank you for staying with us and for the wonderful review! We try very hard to keep our property in pristine condition and for our staff to provide excellent customer service to our guests! We are happy that we hit the mark for you and that we were able to accommodate you and your traveling companions side-by-side in our Standard Plus sites. We wish we would have known about the trouble getting your rig leveled while you were setting up; we might have been able to help and would have tried to determine why it seemed that the site was not level. Again, thank you for staying with us. We hope to see you again soon in paradise!

Ok We have stayed at Grassy Key a few times. We love Marathon restaurants and bars and this park has a very convenient location to all of them. Many of the RV parks in the keys are very old and not terribly attractive so for us it's best to pay the extra and feel safe. Our 45ft class A with tow easily fits in most spots. Only downside is the gravel which hurts your feet and pets have a tough time also. We

Thanks for staying with us again! We are happy that you feel so comfortable at our property! The Marathon area is a great location and it is convenient to enjoy all of the Keys! Our decision to install nice clean white rock on our sites and black granite rock on our roads has worked well for us and provides excellent drainage; it is unfortunate that you found the unique rock design as a downside. We are happy it did not deter you from returning with you pets!

Open gravel lot with some scattered vegetation. Overlooks Grassy Key Harbor for bayside views. Nice common area next to water. Very quiet except for background traffic noise from highway. Level, gravel, somewhat small sites - not quite long enough for 44' motorhome with toad parked sideways. A lot of overhang into the "street" by the toads and tow vehicles - moving of which is generally required to get rigs in and out of sites. Somewhat narrow sites - felt more cramped here than elsewhere in Florida. Power ok, water pressure low (40psi static dropping to 25psi with water running), sewer ok. Wifi pretty useless, unable to connect. Note 1GB per week limit. Verizon 3-4 bars with sluggish to adequate speeds. TMobile comes and goes - sometimes no signal, sometimes 1 or 2 bars. Did not check speed. No issues with satellite access. No recycle. Good road bike riding adjacent to park - small amount (1/4 mile) of street riding to reach the Florida Overseas Heritage trail. We would likely stay here again when in the keys. We

Absolutely gorgeous campground. We would give 5 stars if it had a bathhouse. There was restroom only in community room. Gravel throughout and extremely well maintained from landscaping to pool. Bring mat for gravel. For those with dogs, the gravel can be tough on them. Very rigid about check-in time despite ease of maneuvering in and out of spots. We would stay again. We

Thank you for staying with us and for your review; especially your comment "Absolutely gorgeous. . ."! We work hard to keep everything beautiful and appreciate that you noticed!! New guests, please note: We welcome each guest at arrival, orientate you with the park, and give you a personal escort to your site; so please be sure to plan your travel day to arrive before 5 p.m. It is just the way we do things at GK and it works well for us and our guests!

We absolutely loved this park. It is not large and you need to use your own bathroom but it makes up for that by its welcoming character. This sites were very well cared for and clean. The dock where they have a seating area was paradise. The management suggested a local restaurant and the food was fabulous. It is mid Keys so you are not far from anything. We would return here in a heartbeat. We

This was our first time visiting the Keys and were not sure where to stay in our motorcoach. Going strictly off internet research we picked Grassy Key. Check in was fast and friendly. Sites are all gravel and we selected a waterfront site. They have a nice pool which felt refreshing in the warm July afternoons. We
camped at Grassy Key RV Park & Resort in a Motorhome.

Very friendly staff. Guided us to our site. Easily allowed us to change dates when schedule changed. Mainly full time park models with a few trailer/motor home sites. Good for one night stay traveling through. Site was large, gravel, with full hook ups. Picnic table was warped, peeling and assume not used. Not a destination campground. We

Key Lime Pie is excellent and available almost everywhere. Lots of shopping areas near and a RV supply store just south on Highway 1.

This review must have been intended for another property, not for Grassy Key RV Park & Resort, Marathon FL. Our resort accommodates RVs only (motorhomes, 5th wheels, travel trailers); there are no full-time park models allowed. We have all new picnic tables that are checked and maintained daily. Please try us on your next visit to the Florida Keys. We are definitely a destination RV resort!

Small RV park with most sites close to each other, but not too close. Great gravel surface, level, with good hookups and cable (extra $), good WiFi. Laundry room was clean. Lots of people with pets, all were quite friendly. The park is right on the water but just like most of the Keys, no beach. There is a boat basin and small jetty. Iguana's in the mangroves. We

One night we walked along the highway (separate path away from the road) to Grassy Key Outpost and bought a key lime pie. They also serve food. Another night we walked to Hideaway Cafe (about twice as far as to Outpost) for a very nice dinner.

This is our 3rd stay at this RV park. The Florida Keys are a bit different in that it's either gravel or grass. Not much hard surface because of the coral below. Having said that this is probably one of the nicest places in the keys. The pool is spotless and heated. The small clubhouse is extremely clean and it does have a laundry room. You should have an RV that is self contained. No showers. There is a small restroom in the clubhouse. It is a very quaint place and our 3 dogs love it here. We
camped at Grassy Key RV Park & Resort in a Motorhome.

This is a small RV park (which I like) very clean. Sites are gravel, choice of back in at the water or only slightly further away nice pull throughs. Level new gravel throughout the park, no sand that will get into your rig. Great cable TV and good wifi. In the middle of the Keys so good location for sight seeing. Close to highway but not much noise. Office staff was helpful, I would stay here again. We
camped at Grassy Key RV Park & Resort in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed for the entire month of May. When we arrived, we were one row back from the waterfront row, and the next day moved into the waterfront row. We were supposed to move one more time during our stay, but the excellent staff did some shuffling and we were able to stay put.

The head honcho must be ex-millitary, because he runs a tight ship. He let us know right up front that if you're caught speeding or carrying on throughout the night with excess noise, you'll be told to leave right there and then (which was fine with us). The resort has a nice dock, and people would launch their boat elsewhere and then drive it over and tie up.

I can't remember if they offered cable TV or not, but I DO remember their WiFi policy, which frankly was disappointing. They would monitor usage, and if you exceeded a certain amount of MB, you were kicked off for the rest of your stay. The amount they allow was not very much (we exceeded it in just a few days), and frankly, with today's computers, smartphones and tablets often needing hundreds of MB just to keep the OS, apps and anti-virus software up-to-date (and doing so automatically once they sensed that they were connected to an internet source), Grassy Keys should've offered a solution where you could get basic (slow) service for free, and faster unlimited service for a fee. Just kicking you off with no recourse is just wrong in this day and age.

One thing we liked were the iguanas constantly coming in from the adjacent "jungle" and strolling over the docks and sandy areas. We're from the Seattle area, so it was interesting to us.

Get one of the waterfront spots if you can, as the views north into the Gulf of Mexico are spectacular. We

Tips for other Campers:

If we had it to do over again, we'd have picked a resort closer to Key West. We chose Marathon Island because it was midway between Key Largo and Key West, but for us at least, Key West was the place to be, and it is a long drive (and often slow, as two-lane roads can be) there and back. There's shopping a few miles down the road, a quiet little 9-hole Par 3 golf course nearby, and the Crane Point Museum and Nature Center.

Did not feel we got a warm welcome. Gentleman never introduced himself, but was very adamant about the park rules. Park is NOT dog friendly. It is all gravel, which is extremely hot and hard on paws. Pet walk area is outside the park on Rte 1. No place for dogs to run and play. Staff were not overly friendly. Laundry facility is in an inconvenient area, expensive, but clean. Pool was clean. Lizard droppings everywhere- large ones. Never saw staff cleaning the dock area which was loaded with it. However, dock area was nice, nice tiki hut to sit under and easy to launch kayaks. Very disappointed. We

Tips for other Campers:

Marathon is a good choice for the Keys for the ease to go to Key West, or up to Key Largo. Lots to do and see. Nice biking and kayaking. There are plenty of other places to stay in Marathon. Look elsewhere especially if you have a dog.

Lots of great restaurants, the park managers always know the best places. Dolphin Research Center right next door is wonderful - one of the staff is in the know about that, we were here when two baby dolphins were born. They have a great paved bike path at the park's edge, you can ride all the way into Marathon. Terrific sunsets at tiki hut and tables on the waterfront.
